A drawing die has the leading edges of at least some of its working surfaces inclined with respect to the drawing direction. In one embodiment, Fig. 3, a T-section is drawn through a die having a conical face 12 formed with a die orifice 13, the limiting surfaces 19, 20, 21 of which are spaced from the edges of the workpiece to accommodate the lateral flow of metal. A U- shaped member may be drawn through a die having a frusto-conical face (24) (Figs. 5 and 6, not shown), the legs of the U-member being lengthened during the drawing operation. In a further embodiment, a die, Fig. 7, for drawing T-sections comprises a cylindrical body having an orifice diminishing in size from an opening 40 to the work surfaces 44 and then expanding to an exit opening 50. Members having an H, I, L, V, X and Z cross-section may also be drawn.

Abstract: 552,220. Di-triazine compounds. GEIGY AKT.-GES., J. R. Jan. 22, 1942. No. 915. Convention date, Jan. 23, 1941. [Class 2 (iii)] Di-triazine compounds of the general formula where X is NH or O, Y is a direct link or a hydrocarbon bridge, and R is aryl, are prepared by reacting an aliphatic dicarboxylic acid or a dihalide or an anhydride thereof with an asymmetrical aryl biuret or the corresponding carbimido compound. The compounds containing imino groups prepared by the employment of the carbimide compound may be hydrolysed by means of an alkali to the corresponding keto compound. The hydrolysis may be complete with the production of a tetraketo compound, or partial with the formation of a keto-imino compound. The keto-imino compounds may also be formed by the use as starting materials of aryl-dicyanodiamidines. In example phenyl biguanide is reacted with adipic dichloride in chloro-benzene solution to produce di-(2 : 4 - di - imino - 5 - phenyl 1: 3 : 5 - triazinyl - 6) - butane. This is converted by hydrolysis into either the corresponding 2 : 4 - oxo - imino - compound or the 2 : 4 - dioxo - compound depending on the degree of the hydrolysis conditions. Specification 540,651 is referred to.

Abstract: 552,550. Gyroscopic apparatus. REID & SIGRIST, Ltd., and CREW, D. March 2, 1942, No. 2760. [Class 97 (iii)] [Also in Group XXVI] In a gyroscopic instrument wherein air for driving the rotor passes through a hollow stem carried by one of the relatively rotatable parts of a bearing, loss of efficiency due to leakage of air from the bearing is minimized by a loose washer encircling the hollow stem, and bearing slidably against the other relatively rotatable part of the bearing. As shown in connection with a gyroscopic direction indicator, the rotor casing 11 is pivoted within an outer casing 10 by means of an upper ball bearing 31 and a lower bearing (not shown). The casing 10 carries a hollow stem 33 which extends through the bearing without contact, into a box 34 secured to the rotor casing and leading to a nozzle 37 directed towards the rotor 17. Air evacuated from the outer casing 10 causes a flow of air through a passage 24, through the stem 33 and nozzle 37. To prevent air from being drawn through the ball bearing with consequent wastage of energy and clogging of the bearing by grit, a loose sealing washer 45 is fitted round the stem and given sufficient freedom to slide laterally on the casing 11 if any relative eccentric movement of the stem 33 occurs during the rotation of the bearing.

Abstract: 1,271,071. Milling and mixing cereals. E. H. BENTALL & CO. Ltd. 24 March, 1969 [22 Dec., 1967], No. 58413/67. Heading A2Q. A food processing plant for producing a mixture of preset amounts of different granular materials, e.g. cereals, comprises a mill, a mixer, two or more containers for the materials and control means which actuate means for measuring and delivering the preset amounts from the containers and means for delivering the amounts to the mill. In the embodiment shown the apparatus comprises barley, wheat and maize silos 22, 24, 26 each of which supply cereal to a bin 10, 12 or 14 under the control of a two level sensing switch in each bin. Below each bin is a weighing device 28, 30 or 32 in communication with a suction head 36, 38 or 40. The suction heads communicate with the mill via valves 54, 56 and the mill is connected to a cyclone separator 64 and mixer 62. Each weighing device comprises a pivoted double bin so that when one half is full the bin tips to empty the contents into a suction head and the other half of the bin is ready to receive cereal from the bin 10, 12 or 14. In operation each weighing device 28, 30 or 32 is operated successively for a preset number of tipping operations under the control of controller 42, for supplying cereal to its associated suction head. The cereal is sucked from each suction head 36, 38 or 40 in turn into the mill 58, the valves 54, 56 being appropriately positioned depending on which weighing device is operating. Each weighing device has a senser which initiates stoppage of cereal thereto when there is no flow of cereal from the suction head. The milled cereal is passed in an air stream to cyclone 64 and then to mixer 62. When the mixer has received the preset amounts of all cereals, the mill is stopped and the mixer is operated for a preset period of time by the controller 42. On stoppage of the mixer the cereal mix is discharged by gravity and when this gravity discharge ceases the mixer is restarted to expel the residual mix. In another embodiment the bins are associated with one weighing device comprising a Bourdon tube, which device weighs and collects all the preset amounts of the cereals before passing them to the mill.

Abstract: 1407970 Maximum speed-control systems DAVIES AND METCALFE Ltd 14 Dec 1972 [16 Dec 1971] 58414/71 Heading G1N The speed of a moving vehicle is measured electrically and compared with a predetermined reference speed to operate an alarm and a braking system when the latter is exceeded. As shown Fig. 1, a switch 8 mounted on a wheel axle produces one pulse per revolution. The pulse rate is converted at 12 to a proportional voltage and compared at 16 with a reference speed voltage on line 18. When the actual speed is greater than the reference speed an alarm device 20 is energized and a relay 24, after a delay set at 22, operates the valve 26 of a braking system. The reference signal can be modified on the vehicle at 30, to allow for wheel diameter variations, or by external means, to cope with hazard conditions. Thus a first magnet set into a railway track is sensed by a detector on the train to reduce the reference speed voltage, and a second magnet similarly restores the reference speed voltage to normal. The reference signal level may be selectively shown by lamp indicators.
